Capo: 2
CWe Shared the Gexperience of Fbeing aliCve
CAnd then we Gtook some Ftea
CWe finished Gup and Fall on a Cwhim
We Ctalked as iGt was fFree
GWhen we went to gFet the bill
The lCady looked us Gover
GShe told us, 'now you sFtay quite still
And CI'll fetch in some clGover'
CAnd all of the Gyellow mFelancholCy
CThe world Gabout grew Fstark
The Conly Gsound in Fall of the Cplace
Was the Csinging Gof a Flark
??????????????????????????
CHolly go Glightly Ambright as the Fday
CFresh as the Gmoon and Fstale as the Chay
CCold as the Gwindow Amfrozen with Ffrost
You Cnever been Gseen and you Fnever... been Clost
??????????????????????????
CAnd lost I Gwas for Fall of the Ctime
CWe never sGhared thereFafter
CClosing my bGooks and chFilling my fCeet
CThe air blew Gin much dFarker
GFour boys they've been lFaughing at me
The fColds of my skin are frGayed
GI'm the oldest man FI know by now
As the yCoungest yesterdGay
CWhat did I lGose to moFurn so lCong
A wCorm in the hGeart has - mFe
CLaying to rGest in a vFentriclCe
CStirs when I tGake my teFa
??????????????????????????
CHolly go Glightly Ambright as the Fday
CFresh as the Gmoon and Fstale as the Chay
CCold as the Gwindow Amfrozen with Ffrost
You Cnever been Gseen and you Fnever... been Clost
??????????????????????????
CI saw her oGnce and she cFame upon the mCidday
CAnd gave me bGoth her hFands
CIt seemed while GI was still drFeaming of the wCaves
CThat she lived a wGhile on lFand
GSlipping through a strFeam of dark
TChe streets laid out a wGay
GStayed above the lFevel
Kept my wCondering heart at bGay
CIn the s--a fGeeling in the lFand I was daily dCealing
CThere's a turn of a twGisting smFile
CCheap is your tGime now tFea don't taste so fCine
CHow are you, it's Gbeen a whFile
??????????????????????????
CHolly go Glightly Ambright as the Fday
CFresh as the Gmoon and Fstale as the Chay
CCold as the Gwindow Amfrozen with Ffrost
You Cnever been Gseen and you Fnever... been Clost
CHolly go Glightly Ambright as the Fday
CFresh as the Gmoon and Fstale as the Chay
CCold as the Gwindow Amfrozen with Ffrost

Capo: 2

C G F C

We Shared the experience of being alive

C G F

And then we took some tea

C G F C

We finished up and all on a whim

C G F

We talked as it was free

G F

When we went to get the bill

C G

The lady looked us over

G F

She told us, 'now you stay quite still

C G

And I'll fetch in some clover'

C G F C

And all of the yellow melancholy

C G F

The world about grew stark

C G F C

The only sound in all of the place

C G F

Was the singing of a lark

??????????????????????????

C G Am F

Holly go lightly bright as the day

C G F C

Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay

C G Am F

Cold as the window frozen with frost

C G F C

You never been seen and you never... been lost

??????????????????????????

C G F C

And lost I was for all of the time

C G F

We never shared thereafter

C G F C

Closing my books and chilling my feet

C G F

The air blew in much darker

G F

Four boys they've been laughing at me

C G

The folds of my skin are frayed

G F

I'm the oldest man I know by now

C G

As the youngest yesterday

C G F C

What did I lose to mourn so long

C G F

A worm in the heart has - me

C G F C

Laying to rest in a ventricle

C G F

Stirs when I take my tea

??????????????????????????

C G Am F

Holly go lightly bright as the day

C G F C

Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay

C G Am F

Cold as the window frozen with frost

C G F C

You never been seen and you never... been lost

??????????????????????????

C G F C

I saw her once and she came upon the midday

C G F

And gave me both her hands

C G F C

It seemed while I was still dreaming of the waves

C G F

That she lived a while on land

G F

Slipping through a stream of dark

C G

The streets laid out a way

G F

Stayed above the level

C G

Kept my wondering heart at bay

C G F C

In the s--a feeling in the land I was daily dealing

C G F

There's a turn of a twisting smile

C G F C

Cheap is your time now tea don't taste so fine

C G F

How are you, it's been a while

??????????????????????????

C G Am F

Holly go lightly bright as the day

C G F C

Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay

C G Am F

Cold as the window frozen with frost

C G F C

You never been seen and you never... been lost

C G Am F

Holly go lightly bright as the day

C G F C

Fresh as the moon and stale as the hay

C G Am F

Cold as the window frozen with frost

C G F C

You never been seen and you never... been lost
